Because it sucks. Ooops, did I say that? I can't trial it because it's my amp, but I can write a report of how I feel about it. To answer your question- sure, I'll bring it to your hut for a week, but you have to lend me an amp. Not as collateral- I'se trust ya and all, but I need an amp to play with. Can you suggest something? 50watts or below. Nomad, maybe?
